Regarding the problem of too many Session files in PHP, _PHP Tutorial

Regarding the problem of too many Session files in PHP,

PHP’s default mechanism: for every php request, there will be a 1/100 probability (default value) of triggering "session recycling" ". If "session recycling" occurs, the /tmp/sess_* files will be checked. If the last modification time exceeds 1440 seconds (the value of gc_maxlifetime), they will be deleted, which means that these sessions have expired

1. What is a session file

The file is generally /tmp/sessions/sess_4b1e384ad74619bd212e236e52a5a174If

username|s:9:"test";admin|s:1:"0";

2. When does session recycling occur?

By default, for every php request, there will be a 1/100 probability of recycling, so it may be simply understood as "one recycling occurs for every 100 php requests." This probability is controlled by the following parameters

#概率是gc_probability/gc_divisor
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100

• Assume that in this case gc_maxlifetime=120, if a session file was last modified 120 seconds ago, then the session will still be valid before the next recycling (1/100 probability) occurs.

• If your session uses session.save_path to save the session elsewhere, the session recycling mechanism may not automatically process expired session files. At this time, you need to delete expired sessions manually (or crontab) regularly

3. Set the session storage directory

If you use php5-fpm, modify /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini, modify or add the following line:

session.save_path = 3;600:/tmp/sessions

4. Session clearing script

#!/bin/sh

find /tmp/php-session -cmin +24 -name "sess_*" -and -size 0 -delete > /dev/null 2>&1
find /tmp/php-session -cmin +1440 -name "sess_*" -delete > /dev/null 2>&1

We can get the time here through session.gc_maxlifetime, just put it in the scheduled task (crontab)

Other ways

• Use memcache, etc., (session.save_handler = memcache)

• Use cookies, but the cookies must be encrypted

5. Use tmfs to store session

1. Mount /tmp as tmpfs file system

Modify /etc/fstab and add the following content to the last line: /tmp/sessions tmpfs defaults,size=5120m 0 0

mount -a　

2. Create session storage folder

php will not automatically create these folders, but some scripts for creating folders are provided in the source file. The script below is also easy to use. The content of the script is as follows

#!/bin/sh
dir="0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f"
for levela in $dir;
do
    for levelb in $dir;
    do
        for levelc in $dir;
        do
            mkdir -p /tmp/sessions/$levela/$levelb/$levelc;
        done
    done;
done
chown -R root:webgrp /tmp/sessions && chmod -R 1777 /tmp/sessions

Because /tmp/sessions is used for memory, all files in it will be lost after the server is restarted. Therefore, the above script needs to be added to /etc/rc.local and placed before starting php

3. Store sessions in different directories

php itself supports multi-level hashing of sessions. In php.ini, change ;session.save_path = /tmp to

session.save_path = "3;/tmp/sessions

4. Session recycling

Use the script above
